Have A Sweet Birthday!

Hi bloggers!! TGIF! I hope you've had a wonderful week and going into lots of fun plans for the weekend! I'm always thrilled to bring you an exclusive card from our pal and designer extraordinaire, Jess Larsen! Enjoy!

From the designer:When I am feeling in a rut, or the inspiration just isn't happening,
there is one thing I can always turn to for a quick, easy and great
looking card — the Simon Says Stamp Tri Square die. You can cut it twice
on a card front, or just once. You can use it horizontally or
vertically. You can create peek a boo windows that almost anything looks
great under. I find that once I get the creativity flowing, I can
branch off and try different things, but sometimes I need that boost and
this die is perfect!For today's card, I ran the Tri Square die through my Big Shot
vertically, on the left hand side of the Kraft card front. I took some
Neenah White Cardstock to use underneath the die cut portion and stamped
various sweet treats from the Fantastic Birthday set from Hero Arts.
Then, I stamped them again on different papers from Lawn Fawn's Bright Side 6x6 paper pack. I paper pieced the images and layered my diecut
panel on top. I added the sentiment "Have a sweet birthday," also from
the Fantastic Birthday set. I finished it off using some Stardust Stickles, Glossy Accents and Enamel Dots. I filmed a quick video of the
process, and I share my favorite way to make paper pieced images pop!
Check it out below the card!

Now, who wouldn't love a card like this? It's adorable. Makes me want to go down to Fat Bob's for ice cream. Yes, that's really the name of the local ice cream stand. THS SSS always has such great inspiration. Becky J.
